The group were on top form when as they ran the circuit with their Formby clubmates. Pleased with the team’s performance Elizabeth Stanfield singled out Sue Rosin for particular praise.

She said: “She joined Formby Stormers a year ago as a real beginner, walking and running at first. Never imagining she would be able to complete a half marathon, running has really changed her life and she has lost a stone in weight through running over the past year.”

Elizabeth is fundraising for Jospice as she prepares to carry the Olympic torch on June 1. To support her, ring her on 0151 476 9671 , or visit: www.crosbystormers.com
